    They behave similar because the ant acts like Manuel.

    Explanation:

    The ant hides from the humans under the fathers bed and listens to the girl and her father talking. The ant doesn't trick them with magic and doesn't destroy their lives but if you think about it. It seems like the ant is friends with the girl now.
